The Jurkalne Bluffs is one of the most picturesque parts of Latvia’s seashore, with a quiet beach untouched by civilisation and bluffs of up to 20 metres high.

Bluffs
The bluffs in Jurkalne belong to the landslide-landfall type. The largest amount of erosion can be observed in Jurkalne - exactly from this area as much has been washed out as in Latvia as a whole. The stairs that lead from the top of the bluffs to the beach have been restored several times, due to the shore receding after powerful storms. It has been noticed that the shore can recede as fast as a few metres a year.
According to specialists, this is a perfectly suitable place for paragliding.

Recreation in Jurkalne
Jurkalne offers ample opportunities for spending your holidays — either quietly in front of the see, or more actively: this is an excellent location for paragliding, windsurfing, kiteboarding and paddle boarding.

The steep shores of Jūrkalne are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kurzeme.  The shores are up to 20 m high, washed by the waves and mostly made of sand and narrow bands of pebbles and stones.  Opposite the centre of Jūrkalne is a viewing platform and a set of stairs that lead to the sea.  The shore continues in the direction of Pāvilosta and Ventspils.
